It was a real delight staying with Surat and Carol, not forgetting their adorable daughter Ines, who was so cute. They proved to be wonderful hosts, laid back and extremely helpful.
The accommodation was fine for me and I especially enjoyed working on the roof balcony looking over the Bangkok skyline. If you looking for a real Bangkok experience look no further than this place.
If you manage to wake up early enough (6am sunrise), you'll be able to see the monks walking through the streets offering the locals arms in the morning from above on your bedroom balcony, while drinking your early morning coffee, which is always a beautiful sight.
The narrow street are positively over flowing with street food and colour and I found the locals so friendly and it's a real chance to experience a lovely Thai neighbourhood.
If you are having problems with the language but eager to try some of the amazing food on offer, just around the corner before you get to the main road there is a day restaurant open with excellent food on display and all you have to do is point at what you'd like. Try the crab curry they have sometimes, so yummy (alloi in Thai) and only 30THB
The house is also in a good location for all the main areas of Bangkok, just a short taxi ride away or only a few minutes away on a motorbike taxi there is the BTS. The BTS is often the best way to get around in Bangkok as the traffic there is totally insane at times.
All in all I very much enjoyed staying here and it was such a delight to meet Surat and Carole, who were lovely and interesting people.
